The technology used by Travelport's Interline E-ticket Interchange, allows the Company to issue tickets globally, even if the partner airline employs the traditional e-ticket model. Another product from this technology provider, ETDBase, allows GOL to build a latest-generation e-ticket database, allowing it to store and control e-tickets issued by its partners. Sales of itineraries comprising GOL flights only retain the current ticketless model, one of the Company's low-cost management pillars. "With this technological products, the Company has the advantages of additional sales channels, through airline alliances, while at the same time allowing us to retain efficient cost controls," explained Marcelo Bento Ribeiro, GOL's Head of Yield Management and Alliances. "GOL has 5 ongoing codeshare agreements -- AirFrance/KLM, American Airlines, Iberia, Aeromexico and Copa Airlines -- and 60 interline agreements. These strategic partnerships will account for an increasing share of our ticket sales," added Ribeiro. GOL  has also expanded the reach and connectivity of its distribution network by joining or geographically expanding the main global distribution systems (Sabre, Amadeus and Travelport), with products and distribution systems that keep sales expenses down and improve connectivity with the Company's reservation system.  GOL Linhas Aereas Inteligentes S.A. (NYSE: GOL and Bovespa: GOLL4), the largest low-cost and low-fare airline in Latin America, offers around 800 daily flights to 49 destinations that connect all the important cities in Brazil and ten major destinations in South America and Caribbean. The Company operates a young, modern fleet of Boeing 737 Next Generation aircraft, the safest and most comfortable of its class, with high aircraft utilization and efficiency levels. Fully committed to seeking innovative solutions through the use of cutting-edge technology, the Company -- via its GOL, VARIG, GOLLOG, SMILES and VOE FACIL brands -- offers its clients easy payment facilities, a wide range of complementary services and the best cost-benefit ratio in the market.
